[h3][color=cyan]Em[/color] and [color=lightblue]ECAI-01[/color] - Emperion Bridge[/h3] Being separate from the ship's systems, Em had to learn everything the same as anyone else did by being told. She'd known that they were after some artifact that for some reason had significance. She did not quite understand the need for sentient species to develop attachment and meaning to less intelligent species and inanimate objects. There were also oddities like religious motivations and such. Things like that were beyond her current capacity to understand beyond documentation and observation. Summed up though she simply failed to see why this object could start a war. Judging from the captain's mannerisms he was of a similar mind. Left to roam with her little holo projector she appeared and looked out at the Earth as it came into view. It was pleasing to the eye. She'd never been to Earth. She had been created off world on one of the many space stations controlled by the UGCP. She had never actually been on a planet either. Once again stations and ships were the most common for her. Though that shouldn't be that surprising considering she was an AI. Fauna and flora aren't really things essential for her in any way. Turning back around Eli looked stressed. Suppose that was to be expected given the circumstances. Sadly she wasn't of too much help when it came to emotional needs. That was not her primary purpose and wouldn't likely be given updates for such. [color=cyan]"Are you alright captain?"[/color] The question was more rhetorical than anything. Clearly he was distressed. The 01 AI that was stationed there seemed to pick up that there was a need as well and spoke up. [color=lightblue]"A new application for ship counselor has just come in from Earth. Credentials appear to be in order. Would you like me to send the details to your console captain?"[/color] Standing still she waited for a response. [@Thread Generator SIN][@Infamous Empath][@Mistress Dizzy]
